Visual Journal - focus on communicating your given theme/subject using the following components of visual language: line, shape, colour, texture, collage.
What do they mean?
LINE : an identifiable path
SHAPE : an enclosed space defined by other elements e.g. line, colour, value, texture
COLOUR : A hue - when visible light is reflected into your eye
TEXTURE : the visual 'feel' of 2 dimensional images
COLLAGE : a piece of artwork made from an assemblage of different forms
What can they mean?
Conceptually speaking a line, becomes a line because thats what we understand it to be... it is really just a word. A line could technically be a shape, because it has area. How therefore do we define these visual components?
Evaluating these visual components in relation to the theme of history:
LINE : family lines/trees, border lines --> conflict
SHAPE : flags, countries, how have certain events/ppl shaped history?
COLOUR : race, colour is a signifier - political parties, certain groups within history e.g. tudor rose, communism
TEXTURE : the wearing down of buildings and objects - antiques, ruins
COLLAGE : textbooks - bringing together of visual and narrative parts of history into a cohesive piece, collage of historical objects - hipster culture, inhabiting old buildings - contrast between old and new.
